I'm packing for vacation!

I really thought I'd get to paint today, but I am doing running around trying to get packed.  My husband and I are leaving for two weeks vacation in the morning.  We'll be visiting Mount Rushmore and Yellowstone Park, among other places.  I won't be painting, but I'm taking a sketchbook.

Our temperature hit 110 degrees this week.  The weather in Yellowstone show highs around 60 and lows below freezing at night.  I'll be doing some serious layering!

I'm taking my I-Pad,  so I may get a little time to visit your blogs.  Keep painting!  See you in two weeks!

    Yellowstone Park was one of my favorite places to visit!! We got to see so many beautiful animals..including a bear with her babies!!! We made sure to stay out of her path. Enjoy your stay Virginia and make sure to have that sketch pad with you...

    I tried to leave comments on your paintings, but they were blocked, and I couldn't send an email. I still can't send an email, but wanted you to know why I haven't been leaving comments.

    Caladh, yes we are home and pretty tired. Yellowstone is beautiful. Luckily we didn't run into any bears! Today I'm unpacking and doing laundry.
